You’ll have to disable red or white blocks alternatively to pass through these tracks.
Many different puzzles are spread throughout the elaborate side mission “Riddler’s Revenge,” featuring Edward Nigma, everyone’s favorite puzzler. There are all sorts of stages involving puzzles and combat, but some involve Riddler’s time trials too. Once you’ve experienced them during “Riddler’s Revenge,” they’ll also be available in AR Challenge variants.
Watch out for green panels on the ground and ceiling. These indicate where a green crusher block will smash down. The machine stomping is rhythmic and you can technically drive over the green panels when the crushers are locking back into the ceiling, but it’s better to just avoid them altogether.
The way here is marked on the walls with arrows, and blocks line the track and block it in places. You control whether white or red blocks are “active” at any given time. When white blocks are impeding the track, red blocks are withdrawn, and vice versa. You have to use this to your advantage by swapping between having red or white blocks active in line with your progress on the course. A long run of white blocks sometimes precedes a run of red blocks, with a small strip of neutral blocks in between. You’ll have to swap red on, travel over the retracted white blocks, then swap them when you’re in the small zone in between. There are also places where green blocks smash in place again and again. If you’re in a green spot when it comes down, good-bye Batmobile. If you’re going for the best time and you get smashed at all, just restart the race. You don’t have to pull off any unreal timing passing through dangerous green block fields for a three star rating, you just have to race the whole track cleanly with good Afterburner efficiency, avoiding green crusher areas (and not crushing yourself with white or red blocks).
